300 H&H

Fabulous cartridge in a perfect rifle to chamber it. Congratulations on a wonderful find.

Mine is a somewhat embellished Ruger No. 1. Just the ticket for a BC mule deer.

The .300 H&H is everything that the Win Mag claims to be, with just a bit more sophistication and class. :cool: Chamber it in a pre-64 and assume the ultimate look of haughtiness. Congrats again.

Beautiful. Who did the work on that rifle?
 
My affinity for classic cartridges recently led me to a beautiful pre 64 (1952) model 70 in 300 H&H. The price was very good and since It came with a Leupold 3x9 scope and a set of RCBS dies, it was too good a deal to pass up. The rifle is in terrific condition and seems to have seen little use. The stock was cut but I was able to replace it with an original I picked up.

Despite the flyer, I was very happy with the rifle’s accuracy using 180gr Nosler accubonds. Excellent group for a 73 year old rifle!

I worked up some rounds with IMR 4350 and some 165gr Hornady interlock I had on hand and will try them out tomorrow to sight in and get a better feel for the rifle.

Any suggestions on a good hunting round— Bullet and powder? What’s your favorite for this classic rifle and cartridge combo? Planning to use it out west for mulies and antelope at some point but also may use it for plains game and for Stag.
You’re a lucky man. She is beautiful!!! Best rifle ever made!!!!!!

The metal work is by Turnbull, but I found the rifle at Hendershots with a 3/4 completed stock and no other work. Apparently an heir sold it to them. A stock maker in Virginia finished it, and I then sent it to Doug.

Needless to say, it was an inexpensive head start on what became a fine custom rifle.
 
Stunning rifle!
Been fiddling with the 168gr TSX over VV N555 recently.
Accuracy is outstanding.

I would like to try the 168gr TTSX, but fear that the bullet might be too long.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
